The Protestant Church of St. Peter and Paul (not to be confused with the Russian Orthodox Church of the same name in Karlovy Vary) is a pseudo-Romanesque building. It is now used by the Czechoslovak Hussite Church. It was built between 1854 and 1856 at the instigation of the German Lutheran Church. Countess Hermína of Schaumburg-Lippe, who liked to travel to Karlovy Vary for health treatment, donated the property for the place of worship for Protestant Christians in Catholic Bohemia. From 1893 to 1894, the Leipzig architect Julius Zeissig gave the church its current neo-Romanesque form.
